Verminous Booms.
27 verminous rooms have been cleansed under the provisions of the
London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1904.
Bakehouses.
I have, as instructed, made periodical inspections of the bakehouses
(numbering seventeen) throughout the district. Three of the
bakehouses are underground.
The bi-annual cleansing in each case was carried out satisfactorily.
The conditions in some cases necessitated service of "Intimations"
with respect to the removal of sweepings from under the troughs and
the cleansing of the utensils, etc.
Cowsheds and Slaughterhouses.
Five notices were received for renewal of licences. The premises
were duly inspected in respect of the necessary cleansing and limewashing,
which was done in accordance with the provisions of the Dairy and
Cowsheds Order; any defects found were remedied before the renewals
of the licences were granted.
The slaughterhouses have been frequently visited, and at times when
killing was in progress, and everything found satisfactory.
The number of these premises now on the register is—cowsheds, 2;
slaughterhouses, 3.
